Samuel Johnson was once quoted as saying: “A man who has not been in Italy is always conscious of an inferiority, from his not having seen what it is expected a man could see.”
For those of us in the design industry, perhaps this is particularly true.
The city of Milan has been described as a magnetic point for artists, photographers and models, and when it hosts the biennial event “Eurocucina” (part of the massive iSaloni Fair), interior designers from all over the world flock to see this innovative and inspirational kitchen and bathroom design expo.
The Kitchen and Bathroom Designers Institute, along with Diamond Sponsors Smeg, are delighted to once again be leading a tour to this incredible exhibition in April 2014, which also includes eleven days of sightseeing, tours and unforgettable adventures throughout Italy.
If you’ve been thinking about a trip to Europe, don’t miss this opportunity to join like-minded colleagues on a carefully programmed tour designed to invigorate both your passion for the design of kitchens and bathrooms and your business potential, too. Of course there’s plenty of time for fun and relaxation (as previous tour participants will be sure to share), and a personal tour of the Smeg headquarters in Guastalla will tick all the boxes.
The KBDi International Design Tours are increasing in popularity each year, and spaces are rapidly filling; for more information regarding the tour, contact KBDi on 1300 253 223 or visit kbdi.org.au before you “miss the boat” for the trip of a lifetime.
